Science Fair Powerpoint

We are starting our science fair powerpoints!  Aren't you glad you don't have to do a poster?  Whew.  What a relief!

We will be in the computer lab for the next week and half getting ready to present our results.  Work hard and be prepared because we start presenting them beginning of February!

p.s. - sorry I have posted for a while.  Christmas Break and the End of 2nd Quarter were crazy. :)

Plant and Animal Cells

Today we look at what Mr. Ripplinger's cheeks look like on a microscopic level!  Only one student was semi-grossed-out.  The rest were enthralled! :)  We also looked at other animal cells and tissues as well as plant parts.  Quite the exciting day! If you were absent, today is a day you will have to make up after school.  I can't let you take home a microscope - sorry.

Cheek Cells

Cell City!

The organelles inside a cell work a lot like a city.  Each part has its specific responsibility and they correspond quite well.

Cells!

We started our new unit today.  We introduced it with a Bill Nye and some notes. :)  Here is the link to the Bill Nye and you'll have to get the notes from me if you were absent.
